Distributed User Interfaces (DUIs) have recently become a new field of research and development in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The DUIs have brought about drastic changes affecting the way interactive systems are conceived. DUIs have gone beyond the fact that user interfaces are controlled by a single end user on the same computing platform in the same environment. This new interaction mechanism affects the way these novel systems are designed and developed. New features need to be taken into account from the very beginning of the development process and new models, methods, and tools need to be considered for the correct development of interactive systems based on Distributed User Interfaces. Therefore, the goal of this workshop is to promote the discussion about the emerging topic of DUIs, answering a set of key questions regarding their development: How current UI models can be used or extended to cover the new features of DUIs? What new features should be considered and how should they be included within the development process? What new methods and methodologies do we need to develop DUIs in a correct way following the quality standards for interactive systems?

Participants are required to submit a 4 page position paper formatted according to SIGCHI publication format. Papers should be submitted through EasyChair System. Further information will be posted soon.

Extended versions of a selection of high quality papers will be proposed to be submitted to a Special Issue of an International Journal in the field of HCI.
